Leave my Lettuce Alone :(

Whilst your owner is away, you, a black cat, have been left to guard
the family's lettuce patches. It's currently breeding season for rabbits,
so there are lots of hungry kittens about.

Controls are very simple, the black cat will always follow your cursor,
and the rabbits will be avoiding the black cat whilst also trying to eat
all of the lettuce. The rabbits hate being seperated, so what you need to
do is try to split them up so they get scared and run away whilst simultaneously
preventing the lettuce patches from being eaten!

All game code is written in C++, and my own engine, Psybrus, was used.

PS: It is known to work in Linux under Wine, and also runs in OSX with Wine.

Nice game, ran great for me. I think the lettuce adds a lot to the gameplay of the game, rather than just splitting them up, you actually have to try to keep them away from the lettuce as well. The flocking mechanics are interesting, and actually seem quite believable, they really do seem like a bunch of silly flat bunnies hopping around.

The 'updated' version didn't run for me, but the original version worked great!. This is magnificent! I got stuck on a level, but I had lots of fun. I liked your hand written instructions, but some mistakes in the text made it hard to read. One of my favourite games of the event! :)

Really well done game, the core mechanic was solid and original, and every time I lost I knew it was my own fault. The graphics and sound really made the rabbits, cat, and lettuce seem believable. And the mechanic where the rabbits who are alone get scared and run away was an interesting take on the theme.
